71 F-350 dually flatbed, "little 302" (as some folks here call them) .030 over V-8 with a "baby"C-6, B & M "ghetto" truckshifter, Dana70/4.11 ratio, intermittent wipers, tilt steering, full LED lighting on the flat bed, and no stereo yet (this way I can hear all the rattles to diagnose them)!
A lot of "oddball" Ford parts collected from working on them for 34 years now!

Yep, not the easiest thing to find in a junk yard either since most columns are gone in these trucks.  Got this one and the switch out of a '74 F150 4x4 with a 390/C6 combo that was driven into the yard and still in decent shape for a Mid Atlantic truck...

So that's what it looks like undamaged. Some idiot broke both of mine. (I am that idiot, but don't tell anybody.)

Don't these fall down into the column when they break off? I remember pulling a auto steering column that had 4 or 5 of the "tangs" down in the bottom of it.
